Why do you need to wear a sports bra?

Contrary to what you may think, there are no muscles in the breast – only the skin and the delicate Cooper’s ligaments support the breast tissue. Once the ligaments have been stretched beyond their limit, as a result of breast movement during exercise, no amount of toning exercises can restore them!

Wearing a great sports bra can change your workout. A Shock Absorber sports bra will provide you with the superior bounce control and comfort you need to be able to focus on your performance and enjoy your workout without distractions! With ground breaking research informing design and development and inspired by athletes over the years, every women can now get tailor made sports bra support up to a HH cup.

Top Tips For a Perfect FitGetting the right bra is important for a top workout. If in doubt we recommend that you get professionally fitted as a staggering 80% of women are wearing the wrong-sized bra. To ensure your sports bra gives you the best support possible while training, keep in mind the following:

The UnderbandThe band around the chest should be level front and back. It needs to be comfortable but firm. A good gauge to ensure the underband fits well is if you can ¬ fit the width of two ¬ fingers between the underband and skin. Any more space means the band is too big and could cause friction.

The Cup SizeThis should contain the whole of the breast. There should be no bulging over the top or on the side and should just have minimal cleavage on show.

Shoulder StrapsThe straps should be adjusted to ¬fit securely on the shoulders with only a one-inch give. Adjust the straps where possible to ensure a secure but comfortable ¬ fit – they shouldn’t be too tight.

Do The Bounce TestJump up and down, is the bra supportive?

About

Sports bras are an essential item of clothing for women when exercising, there are many long term benefits. Surprisingly recent statistics found that a large percentage of women who exercise regularly do not wear a sports bra. Breasts have no muscle so when you exercise, your breasts move putting strain on the ligaments, this can stretch them causing long term sagging. Wearing a sports bra can help to prevent sagging and pain. Investment in a good sports bra can reap in the benefits of looking good as well as being fit and healthy.

Fits well, great colour
This was my first purchase from this company. Cannot be happier. Fits well, does the job and feels comfortable. A little hard to buckle up but once it is done the fit is good. Recommended.

Very fit and good support during running
It's one piece sport bra so a little bit difficult to take on/off. It's also the good part, very it and good support during running.

On the small side, awkward adjustable straps
This is on the small side for size, also has difficult to adjust straps. Bonus - super supportive when I've finally wriggled into it, nice fabric, good quality. The straps are adjustable, which is unusual for a racer back sports bra like this one, but not all that helpful.
